MUMBAI: Fans will be allowed to attend matches during the Indian Premier League (IPL), which starts on Saturday (Mar 26), with COVID-19 restrictions easing in the country, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) said on Wednesday.
Indian Premier League (IPL), which is set to begin in Mumbai on Saturday, will witness 25 per cent crowd attendance in stadiums, the organisers said on Wednesday. The lucrative league gets underway at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday with defending champions Chennai Super Kings taking on Kolkata Knight Riders. "This match will be a momentous occasion as the 15th edition of the IPL will welcome fans back to the stadiums after a brief hiatus owing to the pandemic," an IPL release stated.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Indian Premier League announced that it would be allowing fans into stadiums during IPL 2022. IPL 2022 is set to begin from March 26 at the Wankhede Stadium, with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Also, fans will be allowed at a 25% occupancy due to Covid-19 protocols.
Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson is donning the hat of a coach for the first time as he will be the assistant coach of Delhi Capitals in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Watson has ample knowledge on MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant, having played under Dhoni for the Chennai Super Kings and also observing Pant from close quarters. So, it is no surprise that Watson was eventually asked to compare the two wicketkeeper-batters. Apart from comparing, Watson also highlighted one similar trait in Dhoni and Pant.
Defending champions Chennai Super Kings may miss the services of Moeen Ali for the IPL 2022 opener as the star England all-rounder is yet to receive his India visa for the 15th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament beginning in Mumbai on Saturday. CSK, four-time IPL champions, will take on last edition's runner-up side Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening match of the this year's IPL at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.
Moeen Ali is likely to miss the opening match for Chennai Super Kings, who will play the IPL 2022 opener against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday. The 34-year old Ali, who was retained by CSK for Rs 8 crore, hasn't joined the four-time champions for the upcoming IPL season. The all-rounder is stranded in the UK after failing to secure the visa necessary to travel to India for the IPL. It has been learned that Moeen would need to arrive in Mumbai by Wednesday to stand a chance of playing his team's first match against 2021 runners-up Knight Riders, an ESPNcricinfo report said.
The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is upon us and the fans are waiting eagerly to see their favourite stars play for their respective teams. The cash-rich league will begin on March 26 with the tournament opener being played between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. Rishabh Pant-led Delhi will begin their campaign on March 27 against the Mumbai Indians and the franchise would look to win their first IPL title this season. The franchise has some new names in their ranks and the management would look to get out the best from them.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season will kickstart on March 26 with defending champions Chennai Super Kings squaring off against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The season opener will see MS Dhoni going up against KKR's new skipper Shreyas Iyer and the match is expected to grab eyeballs all around the world. Last season, these two teams had played the final, where CSK came out triumphant.
